With an .htaccess file, you'll determine how the web server that addresses the requests to your web sites should act in a variety of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you may block a particular IP address from accessing your website, so the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to another URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You may also use personalized error pages or protect any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, like Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
